So, you’re thinking about building out a new commercial building for your business? Great! Before you get started, there are a few things to consider before jumping right in. At Premier Construction, we’ve worked with business-owners across Central Iowa with various different building projects. From churches to schools, municipalities and more— we’ve figured out what works best for our clients.
We recommend checking out our blog on how to get started on your new commercial building, before following this guide. It will help to give you a solid foundation of where to begin. Once you’ve determined a plan to get started, check out our guide below on some common “do’s and don’ts” we’ve run into during our construction projects that will help you be more knowledgeable and prepared for your commercial building.
You may have a budget in mind and perhaps even a plan figured out with a financial planner or institution. While everything was approved, you feel like you’re ready to go!
Our advice? Make sure you know your finances inside and out. Signing off on a contract is one thing, but knowing exactly what you’re getting into is another. The last thing you want is to be halfway through your project and find out your funding source has run low. you’ve run out, or, you may have broken your contract unknowingly.
Understanding your financial plan inside and out will help you avoid any potential pitfalls during your project.
Depending on lots of different factors for your commercial building, you may need specific documentation to cover your project. This can vary depending on where the project is located, size and any specific needs for your building. Save yourself the hassle and acquire all legal permits and permissions BEFORE the project begins. Without this, you risk the project being stalled and wasting more time on getting the documentation when it could’ve been sorted out in the beginning.
Always be prepared in case something goes wrong. In fact, we recommend preparing for when something DOES go wrong. This may look like work delays, shortages and more. Many times we’ve been doing a construction project and something out of the ordinary will delay it— often unforeseen by both or either parties involved.
It can be very easy to relax once everything has been accounted for and construction begins. However, we do caution all business-owners to be prepared for any circumstance that could arise during the process.
A construction project can be an exciting thing, trust us, it’s what we love to do! However, getting caught up in the anticipation of a project process can often lead to overlooking important things. At Premier Construction, we pride ourselves on our commitment to upholding exceptional communication. With every project, one person will be your main point of contact and it’s important to keep constant communication.
Being satisfied with a project isn’t enough. If you see something that needs to be changed, isn’t quite what you thought it would be or anything else you have a problem with— communicate! It’s common for a construction project to go through many revisions, so communication is not only beneficial, but it’s necessary.
It’s normal in this day and age to want things done quickly, correctly and inexpensively. However, just hiring ANY contractor to build out your commercial project to “get the job done” can lead to many downfalls. We’ve seen projects go unfinished, contracts being broken and many other bad things that can happen when working with contractors who “don’t care”.
It’s important to hire contractors you can trust to take on your project. At Premier, our mission is to offer you the “quality you deserve at prices you can afford”. Staying budget-friendly doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice the quality of care you receive. You can expect us to be with you every step of the way, making sure your commercial building project goes above and beyond your expectations.
